@maddy i could not find this word pending in your post where you have given so common slang used by HO.what is pending,i nearly gone crazy but then stopped myself and thought going crazy would not solve the problem as she was not ready to give further information.
@shahfurqan I did say it depends on the advisor ...pending can be assumed as decision pending ..so definitely with case worker unit and if ur lucky it's with case worker who is yet to decide ...
Dont worry pal 2 weeks time you will have ur letter in hand
@maddy,thanks for your encouraging reply mate I wish what u said comes true as we both have only three days difference so hopefully by the grace of Almighty we should be hopeful in this month In Sha Allah

@ londonuk,yes HO use first class recorded delivery and will sent it to the address you have provided on the form but if you have redirected your mail because of change of address then you should be fine but make sure redirection is done and also ask post office for the recorded deliveries as sometimes redirection goes wrong and you don't get your all posts on redirected address.

@ Saleem,mate if court has given virdict or in others words you have been convicted by a court for three points then in my view you have to mention it but if you accepted it without going into court at the first go then there is no need to mention it but also wait for other members to reply.

When I sent my documents with special delivery, I put the return special delivery bag inside the one I was sending, but the receipt they gave me at the post office, only has 1 tracking reference number. Will that one be re-used when HO sends my documents to me?
@Oct11ilr Now thats a tricky thing to ask I suppose you can go to the same Post office and show them the receipt and ask them they would be able to give you the other tracking number
Hmm ... second thought try to check the tracker number you have on Royal mail .
https://www3.royalmail.com/track-your-item
If the status says ( Please come back ) then this is the reference number for the special delivery you put inside the cover
If the status says ( It's on its way/ delivered ) then that must be the used one .call royal mail and they will clarify about this Ref number with dates
( usually they stick reference labels on the receipt)
Tracking No only gets scanned when RM collects the package for delivery.
Tracking No that you have on post office's receipt is of the package that you posted to HO, it's not for the prepaid return envelope which post office would have never scanned when you purchased it.
If you did not copy the tracking No before sending the self addressed bag then there is no way to find it now, all you can do is wait!

An EEA2 RC holder has the right of residence based on the activities called treaty rights of its EU national partner. Therefore, in order to count that time legal towards 10 years of legal residence you will have to send the evidence of treaty rights of your EU national for the duration you spent as EU national family member (eea2 holder). Although set (lr) does not ask that but they are mandatory.
Please donot send PM. Write in open forum to facilitate others too.
